A FM RF extracted copy of the Daicon III and IV Opening animation Laserdisc. Included is both the full .ldf file and the uncompressed interlaced FFV1 file.
Notes: This film was badly transferred and interlaced, which is not shocking given its age and context. There is tons of frame blending and based on the age of the release and the head switching noise at the bottom, it appears that Daicon was originally on a UMatic intermediary before being transferred to LaserDisc. I have included just the begining part of this disc, as that is what most people are interested in, and not the film it introduces, Daicon Film's "Yamata no Orochi no Gyakushū". That's a fun film, just outside the scope of this archive.
I will also work on an encode that is smaller than 10 Gigs but I would recommend anyone working on these files do manual telecine given the fields. This is the most useful tool I know for that is IVTC-DN: https://github.com/Mikewando/IVTC-DN.
I will also work on getting a full resolution scan of the dust cover once I find a scanner that can accommodate it.
Hold on tight to your dreams.

Action-Packed Retro Awesomeness
Thanks for posting this. I've never heard of this "Daicon" project, but it seems to have pretty cool animation.

The dust cover...
All-in-one printers (such as the Epson Workforce) often include a large format scanner. If you can't get access to one, take the dust cover to a copy shop, have color photocopies of it made, then scan the photocopies at a high res on a standard letter-sized scanner.
